Git or sftp?

I’m to a point I’d like to publish my project to our server. I didn’t start the project with git but it’s setup now. However, looking at the docs, it appears wappler is hard coded to use commercial git, not git installed on an ubuntu server. I could be wrong. If it can connect to a regular git server, what’s the wappler way to connect the project to an existing bare repo? Of course I could just move the .git folder created on a manual clone and then manually add/commit from the current project folder.

Has anyone tackled this in the past? Built a project and then switched to git?
